    * UberEats delivery * What a wonderful late night sushi find. So fresh and tasty. Everything was packaged with care. They even included extra soy sauce. They skipped the chopsticks and napkins which was a bummer but we had those at home already. We will order from them again.

    I ordered delivery and was very happy with both the quick delivery and the high quality of the sushi. The ingredients in the California Maki and the Shrimp Tempura Maki were incredibly fresh and nicely rolled with large portions of all ingredients!!!! The rice was moist and the wrapping was. Top notch! I will definitely be ordering again in the near future.

    complimentary crab rangoon
    Eva S.

    I love this little neighborhood sushi spot. I've ordered from them once for take-out at the beginning of the pandemic but if could splurge on fresh sushi and sashimi more often, I'd splurge here! I ordered the sushi platter they had 7 pieces of nigiri (sliced raw fish over rice). I remember the fish being so fresh it had a hint of sweetness. It was the freshest fresh I've had in awhile. I also got a California roll and my subtotal hit the price point (I think $25?) where I could get a complimentary order of crab rangoon. Winning. When I picked up my order, they had tables that divided their dining room so that pick-up was sectioned off from their staff/kitchen. They gave me a bottle of their house-made sanitizer. At the time, I believe they were giving these away to all of their customers as a gift. I loved that soft touch, and it felt very neighborly. Upon reflection, it felt like a care package even though I was just picking up my order. To me, it was a "stay safe out there, I'm looking out for you" send off as I made my way home with my food, even though the only words I had exchanged in the restaurant were "pick up for Eva" and "thank you."

    As someone who rarely posts reviews, I felt so disrespected by the restaurant manager at Uni Sushi. Pretty much, I ordered two servings of the Negitoro roll - when I received the delivery, it appeared they mixed it up with negi hamachi roll (yellowtail). I called to let them know, since the negitoro is more expensive. Except the manager messaged me saying verbatim "anyone else will most definitely know the difference" between the negitoro and negi hamachi rolls. Unfortunately, after tasting it, my wife and I were certain it wasn't tuna, but rather, yellowtail, as it had the fishier taste to it. I wasn't mad they got the order wrong, but I definitely felt like the restaurant should've corrected their error. Instead, the pushback I got was inappropriate and not indicative of a good business. You do you, but I'll be avoiding Uni Sushi from now on. See posted photos and tell me the gray fish is "toro".

    Crab Rangoon, Pork Belly Ramen, Sushi (Sushi) Sake, Sushi (Sushi) Maguro

    Crab Rangoon was pretty good, but definitely mostly cream cheese filling. I ordered 1 tuna nigiri and 1 salmon nigiri. They both looked really good, but unfortunately the freshness didn't follow. The tuna was okay but not very good, the salmon was inedible, mushy fish that I did not trust to even swallow my one bite. Lastly, I got pork belly ramen. I'm a big garlic fan, but the broth was super garlicky, but my real issue is with the pork. One of the pieces was completely raw. I was very lucky to not get food poisoning from this experience.

    My experience here was above and beyond all my hopes and expectations for a well prepared and authentic poke bowl In fact I asked if miso soup was included and initially my friendly server told me that miso soup isn't included with poke bowl. Five minutes later she said the chef would be happy to prepare a miso soup for me and she asked me if I'd prefer it spicy or mild so I asked for the spicy version and she presented me with a very generous bowl of hot, spicy broth with scallions, mushrooms tofu and peppers which were savory and delicious. When my poke bowl trio came out I was super excited at the beautiful presentation and the vibrant colors of fresh cubes of fish fresh mango chunks, sushi rice, seaweed and edamame... The food here is absolutely fresh, flavorful and clean tasting and it's obvious to me the chef has a high skill set and understands how to prepare sushi and Japanese cuisine. I was also happily surprised to find thai iced tea on the beverage list and it's always been a favorite of mine. The staff here are extremely friendly and my dining experience was phenomenal. I will definitely be returning

    Spicy Salmon Maki & Bears Signature Maki
    Jonathan M.

    I lost count how many times I have ordered from here lol. It's that good! I love sushi and whenever I'm not in the mood to cook I always turn to UberEats for Uni Sushi!!! They are consistent and the food is always fresh! The packaging is always good and I always end up satisfied! Never have been disappointed!

    Sweet potato roll & salmon avocado roll
    Sarah S.

    When my friends and I were looking to order some sushi before our New Year's Eve gathering kicked off, we had a hard time finding a place that was awesome and would deliver to us in Ukrainian Village. When we did see Uni would deliver, my friends had dined in house before so were a bit hesitant...apparently they were out of Uni when they went. Out of uni at Uni!? Seems preposterous! :P We went ahead with it though and ordered and it wasn't half bad. Sweet Potato Tempura Maki $6.95 - Well sized, well rolled, well battered decent roll. Salmon Avocado Maki $7.95 - Fresh fish, again well rolled (all their rolls were), liked this one! Bears Signature Maki $12.95 - This roll was my favorite of the bunch with salmon, spicy salmon, tempura crunchy, avocado and crunchy sweet potato! Yaaaas. Loved it and would definitely order this again. Prices weren't bad, sushi makis were tasty and delivery was nearly on time which is great for New Year's Eve! I wouldn't pass trying to dine in the actual restaurant.

    Crab Rangoon
    Maddy R.

    I typically order Uni Sushi when I'm craving Crab Rangoons because they're just that good! The sushi overall is decent as well as their pricing. I would recommend this place!

    Fantastic and affordable sushi. My go to is usually the philly or salmon roll. Every time it is been very fresh and the service is swift with friendly staff. Highly recommend for dine in or take out.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at Miru…read more We were visiting Chicago for a short trip, and with so many excellent dining options, choosing where to eat wasn't easy. I almost decided to save Miru for our next visit, but I'm glad I made time for breakfast here on our departure day. Located inside the St. Regis Chicago, the restaurant offers beautiful views. The service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and professional. I ordered the Tokyo Breakfast. The salmon was perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with rice, a soft-poached egg, and salmon roe. The miso soup was slightly salty on its own, but it worked surprisingly well when enjoyed with the rice toward the end of the meal. Overall, a memorable breakfast experience. I'd love to return and try the lunch or dinner menu on my next trip to Chicago.

    It's all about the views!…read more Miru is one of the newer sushi restaurants relatively uncompetitive sushi scene in Chicago, and it hits the spots for those interested in classy ambience and jaw dropping views. The sushi is phenomenal, as were our drinks... but the other entrees are disappointing. The karaage and duck yakisoba in particular in quality could be from any corner restaurant in Chicago. The service lends itself more casual, and I noticed they were consistently quite slow to clear our table. I don't think people come here for the food as much as the views. Overlooking Streeterville from this angle and vantage was truly jaw dropping and for this reason I still strongly recommend Miru.

Overall, the fish was fresh and…read morewell-prepared--nothing particularly mind-blowing, but definitely good quality, especially for a more affordable omakase option. My only critique is the pacing. Since the chef already had the fish sliced and prepped, I expected a smoother flow, but the meal took about an hour and a half for 14 pieces of sushi. It felt a bit slow, especially for a lunch service. That said, if you're looking for a reasonably priced omakase with quality fish, this is a solid choice.

Both were great. Our bartenders were lovely and very friendly. Found out this is a Malort tasting room and we were able to sample some different Malorts (the cocoa one was good!). Then we were taken back to our table for dinner. Our server was super friendly as well. Started with the miso soup and crispy tuna bites which were probably my favorite dishes. The taki yoki fritters weren't bad either. We saw people getting omakase, so we ordered a yummy looking piece they were receiving. It was just okay (chutoro truffle). The nigiri was also okay. The tuna piece was the only I really loved. The fish quality wasn't as high as I was expecting. The sushi was decent. A little too much truffle in the spicy blue fin tuna and a little too vegetable forward in the hamachi serrano. All in all, the atmosphere and amazing service pushed this up to a 4 for me.

The restaurant houses both an omakase counter and an izakaya, but in completely separate spaces. The omakase side is an intimate, beautifully designed counter with around 10 seats. We were the only guests that evening, so the whole experience felt wonderfully private -- just us, Chef Shoji, and the fish. Chef Shoji opens the meal by presenting the actual fish you'll be eating, all flown in twice a week from Japan or Spain. It immediately signals what kind of meal you're in for. The 20 courses were well-paced and the quality was consistent throughout. Nigiri and sashimi were pristine, but the hot dishes were equally impressive, which surprised me. Both sides of the menu showed real craft and attention to detail. Service was fantastic -- warm, attentive, and never stuffy. At $210 per person, it's a special occasion meal, but one that genuinely delivers on the price. As someone who eats a lot of omakase back home in LA, I wasn't sure what to expect. I left genuinely impressed. Highly recommend if you're looking for a serious sushi experience in Chicago!!!

Quiet and cozy ambiance for casual outings but also cute enough to be a date spot. Got seated immediately. Service was a bit slow, but that's only because they seemed to have one host/server working at the time, who was working super hard and kept a super pleasant and attentive vibe. I will definitely be back!
